The State Register of Historic Places is gaining a few more locations, including a church and monastery in Green Bay. We talk to an architectural historian about what it takes to make the official register and the history of these new additions. We also learn where Wisconsin’s being hit the hardest during the partial government shutdown, on this week’s Wisconsin News Roundup. And we take a look at how women and men are viewed and treated when in political roles.
